Topic: hi-res scan of Desert Sail Skiff box (Read 1645 times)

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a site which has hi-res scans of any of the vintage boxes, specifically the Desert Sail Skiff. That mini-rig is one of my all time fave toys and I've been wanting to find a hi-res (minimum of 1024x768) scan of the full back as shown in the pic below:

I think a crisp clean scan of that would make a great wallpaper for my pc's desktop, and I'm surprised I've not come across a site which has scans of vintage packaging just for that purpose. Anyone happen to know of such a site?

yeah these seem very difficult to find, I wouldn't have thought so, but it sure is. if i can just find a big scan of the box, even if it isnt in the best shape, i can run it thru paint shop pro to clean it up. the quest continues.....

You're right copyrights would be a hassle for posters if someone other than Hasbro did them, then again you often see licensed shirts with the Transformers emblems or GI Joe logo being sold in malls, so you'd think they would be interested in utilizing the great Kenner art they have available. As for desktop wallpapers, you could probably get around that via the Fair Use clause in US and International Copyright laws. Especially if it's done in the same vein as how many sites offer the scans of the original vehicle instructions and sticker sheets, i.e. free of charge.
